gunpowder - These leaves are hand-rolled into tiny pellets, and yield a full-bodied cup with a hint of smokiness.
white monkey - Warm coloured liquor with a fresh, almost wildflower sweet scent and slightly dry finish.
sleeping dragon - Has a soft, fruity sweetness enfolded by a rich, smoky note similar to gunpowder, but more complex and crisp.

“ Great selection of teas, they are similar but have nice subtleties in flavour. My favourite is the dragonwell, I'd say it's the strongest flavour of the four. Overall I'd recommend this product. ”

“ I love all the green teas of China and this is a great variety of 4 of the green teas from China. I enjoy all of these teas. dragonwell is my favorite and is a nutty buttery flavor that I love. Gunpowder would be second, if I had to rate these teas, but I do enjoy all of them. Dragonwell and Gunpowder are stronger in flavor than the White Monkey. White monkey reminds me of what Jasmine tea would taste without Jasmine. It is gentle and subtle in flavor. Sleeping dragon is more like gunpowder. Overall, this is a great buy to get a start on tasting some of the well known high quality teas from China. The box is a beautiful eye catching decoration on my tea bar. The only way this would be better is if the bags somehow filled themselves up again! All steeped at 180 for 2-3 min. ”

“ Sleeping Dragon, Dragonwell and Gunpowder are wonderful. White Monkey is too tame for my taste. I take my tea straight - no sugar, honey or milk - and prefer a robust flavor. I recommend this set for anyone who wishes to sample some really good green teas. ”

Gunpowder - probably my least favorite.
